Camoflauged Decorator Crab

Look close and look for the eye and you should be able to make him out...

Decorator crabs are masters at the art of disguise. They will attach various materials from their surroundings to their esockeleton to disguise themselves. A slow mover, even when approached, they seem to have complete confidence in their ability to remain inconspicuous. The one photographed here was about 1 inch wide.
